It's a Mega-Update Post!

I was asked by a friend to upload a bunch of pictures, as she remembers a specific piece of jewelry that I'd made, and wanted to see it again.

Custom pieces

My boss has a new-found fascination with my wire work.  Every day that I'm at work he brings me a freshly finished cab (cabochon) and says, "Wire wrap this!!! It would look so good wrapped!"  So, I have! Check out just a couple of pieces that I've finished...

 Above is Petrified Dinosaur bone with opal, wrapped in copper (Sold for $45)
Variscite wrapped in copper ($100)

I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving so I can get some of my projects done :)

HOPE Fest re-cap

Sorry guys, I never posted about how awesome the HOPE Festival went for me.  I was initially disappointed, as it didn't seem like I sold that much, but I made a pretty chunk of change. :)  Yay!


Here are a couple pictures of my table:
From the front
And a full length view of my table


As you can tell, I wasn't selling just my stuff. I had stuff from another lady.

One really super awesome pendant that I barely had time to take a picture of is this one here:
Kambaba Jasper, wrapped in silver (sold for $40)
(Kambaba Jasper is also known as Crocodile Jasper
and was originally found in Madagascar)

I was honestly just putting the finishing touches on this pendant when a co-worker was looking at my table. She didn't seem impressed by any of my other pendants, so I showed her this one. Her eyes got wide, and she said she wanted it. So, I told her to come back in 10 minutes (to give me time to finish it) and that she could have it for $40. WHOOO!  I was so stoked!   I have access to these stones, so I could make another, but by request only (honestly, it was kind of a pain in the ass to make, and I had help from my boyfriend to make the frame around the stone).

I was also considering having a booth at our local Novemberfest, but when I contacted the organizers about it, there weren't any booths available. I was told to contact them in April of next year! Wow, I didn't realize the tables went so fast for it. Oh well, so much for that...

Different trees...

These could all be worn as necklace pendants, but the three large trees would also look great dangling from a rear-view mirror in a car (you can sure bet I have one hanging in my 4runner!)


The frame for each pendant is colored aluminum wire. The purple and green wire forming the actual tree is purple/green 20g wire. The black wire (as pictured in the smallest blue tree) is plastic coated 24g wire.
